It´s hard to follow because sometimes you are required to speak. But I can see your point and the potential benefits. You want to hear yourself only speaking fluently so you can overide the current flawless pathways that make´s you believe and re-afirm your stuttering mindset. Also, if you no longer fear silence you will not feel the necessity to overly think what you need to say to avoid a silence. When you speak without thinking about it, then probably you won´t stutter. Yerterday I was thinking about that; If you want to speak from the heart you have do at least two things: 1) Risk offending because you will not know entirely what will come out of your mouth (You will know the idea but not the exact words). 2) Being comfortable not talking. In that case, when you do speak, you will say something real to you and not just anything to fill out the void. Great!!!
